About this study

Official title: Non-blinded, Single Dose, Single Centre Trial to Assess the Pulmonary Deposition as Well as Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of 99mTc Labeled Ciprofloxacin When Delivered as a Single Dose From a Dry Powder Inhaler to Healthy Subjects With and Without Charcoal Block and Patients Suffering From Bronchiectasis and COPD

The purpose of this study is to characterize variability and extent of the deposition of ciprofloxacin in the respiratory tract of healthy subjects in comparison to patients with chronic lung diseases after inhalation of a single 50 mg dry powder dose containing 32 mg active substance. In addition the safety and pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin will be evaluated. In this study the radiolabeled substance will be administered and scintigraphy imaging techniques will be used to demonstrate the lung deposition visually. In the healthy subjects an additional pharmacokinetic method is used to calculate lung deposition indirectly based on pharmacokinetic data derived from plasma. For this purpose they will inhale at a separate occasion another dose of ciprofloxacin after having ingested activated charcoal. The latter serves to bind ciprofloxacin which is swallowed down during the inhalation maneuver in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, thus preventing its uptake into the blood (charcoal block). Safety investigations will focus on local tolerability in the lung.

Pharmacokinetics is to see how the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and gets rid of the study drug.

Results from this study will be used to show how the drug is distributed in the human lung.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetics including lung deposition

    Firstly, scintigraphic imaging, a non-invasive method using a radioactive (99mTc-) label tagged to the formulation, will be used to describe the distribution and deposition of a single inhaled dose of Ciprofloxacin Dry Powder Inhalation (DPI) in the lung quantitatively. Secondly, based on blood sampling over a period of 24 hours after inhalation non-compartmental pharmacokinetic parameters of ciprofloxacin will be calculated to determine the systemic exposure to drug following inhalation of a single 32.5 mg Ciprofloxacin dose.

    Measured: Within 24 hours after treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse Events collection

    Measured: Within 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ciprofloxacin (Cipro Inhale, BAYQ3939) in people with Respiratory System, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetics including lung deposition (time frame: Within 24 hours after treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2014.
